On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the lively sound of firecrackers in the concession was suddenly interrupted by sudden rain, snow and hail. Fierce winds blow from the sea and blow away the festive atmosphere.

In Mr. Boulder's apartment, kerosene lamps were lit in every room. The illumination of Chinese New Year's Eve is considered an auspicious move in line with Chinese tradition.

In the study, the flickering flame in the fireplace casts a warm glow. Gu Yongyuan and Mr. Boulder sat by the fireplace, drinking fragrant coffee and chatting. As he was about to leave Shanghai, he had a lot to discuss with Mr. Boulder.

A brisk sound of footsteps and a soft knock on the door caught their attention. The maid came in and respectfully informed Gu Yongyuan, "Sir, Miss has settled down." ”

Gu Yongyuan was a little helpless. On Chinese New Year's Eve, he finds himself trapped in Boulder Mansion, and the opportunity to ease relations with Lin Wanxue is slipping away. These days, Lin Wanxue has been avoiding him. Today, however, he waited for her in the restaurant until she showed up. When she saw Gu Yongyuan, she agreed to come to Boulder's house. Gu Yongyuan originally wanted to have a lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with her. Even if they lost their minds, they didn't dare to sit at the same table as their master and wife. So, Gu Yongyuan took Lin Wanxue to Boulder Mansion. Unexpectedly, a snowstorm prevented them from leaving. He originally planned to find a chance to have a good talk with Lin Wanxue. With such embarrassment, he was reluctant to part with her.

"I'm going to take a shower, too." Gu Yongyuan stood up with a smile.

Boulder nodded, but deep down he was very envious of Gu Yongyuan's good luck. He was well versed in oriental customs, so he didn't stare at Lin Wanxue when he ate. But just by looking at it, he was already impressed. Oriental beauties exude an ancient charm that can captivate any man.

After taking a shower, Gu Yongyuan followed the maid to a guest room on the first floor. However, when he walked into the room, he was instantly stunned. The person standing next to the milky white dresser was none other than Lin Wanxue. The room was warm and cozy, and she took off her black fur cloak, revealing a gorgeous golden silk phoenix robe. The hem of the dress slightly reveals a touch of red embroidered shoes, which makes people feel excited.

Gu Yongyuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized the situation. In the eyes of others, he and Lin Wanxue are husband and wife. Naturally, a room was arranged for them. He was about to say something when the maid smiled and wished them a good night, then left and closed the door.

At this time, Gu Yongyuan found himself wearing cotton pajamas and slippers, looking informal. Sure enough, Lin Wanxue looked at him from head to toe, her big watery eyes flashing with playfulness.

Gu Yongyuan sighed in his heart, feeling that it was better than being indifferent. He struggled to find the words, "Annabelle has a new futon for you, right?" ”

"Yes."

The room is small, with a simple dressing table, a coffee table and a Western-style wooden bed. The velvet comforter sheets are all brand new. Moreover, red candles are lit on the dresser, which is in line with Chinese customs.

Gu Yongyuan sat on a wooden bench next to the coffee table, handling the charcoal fire in the brazier. The room was warm and comfortable.

After a moment of silence, Gu Yongyuan said: "Let's make do with it for one night, it's not good to trouble them to clean the room again." ”

"Are you going to Beijing the day after tomorrow?" Lin Wanxue ignored Gu Yongyuan's topic.

"Yes." Gu Yongyuan nodded, feeling a little lost. He looked up at Lin Wanxue and said sincerely: "Wanxue, I treat you as a friend, although I don't know how to express it, I always inadvertently make you angry." When it comes to anti-Qing sentiments, it's good to be friends with you. "Enthusiasm, but if it seems hopeless, there's no need to force it, I just hope you're safe and sound, and I hope that one day we can meet again."

Lin Wanxue looked at him and nodded slightly. Then she chuckled, "I'm not used to hearing you talk like that." ”

Gu Yongyuan also smiled, and this time he didn't joke anymore.

Lin Wanxue looked at him for a while, and suddenly asked, "You have helped me so much, aren't you afraid that I will go to the capital to cut off your head in the future?" ”

"I'm not afraid." Gu Yongyuan shook his head slightly.

The room fell silent again, accompanied by the faint crackling sound of the charcoal burning.

"So, are you going to sit like this all night?" Lin Wanxue pointed to the head of the bed and said, "Sleep." ”

Gu Yongyuan continued to be busy with the fire and said with a smile: "You go to sleep first, don't worry, I won't peek at you." ”

The breeze was blowing slowly, and Lin Wanxue's delicate lotus feet danced gracefully. She snatched the fire shovel from Gu Yongyuan's hand and ordered: "Let you sleep, you are weak and can't stay up late, I am used to it, and as time goes by, you will sleep." "I've been able to go days and nights without sleep."

However, Gu Yongyuan's self-esteem took a hit. He raised his chin and retorted, "How do you know if I'm weak or not?" I'm telling you, I've never been sick since I was a child! This is indeed true. Since coming to this world, Gu Yongyuan has not had any illness. When he was lost and lonely, he stood all night in the snow wearing only a thin suit and did not even sneeze the next day.

Lin Wanxue looked at Gu Yongyuan's provocative childish face, and couldn't help but feel funny. She sneered: "Young Master, you are really spoiled, no wonder you have never been sick!" ”

Gu Yongyuan was in a rather melancholy mood. In his previous world, it was quite an embarrassing thing to have a beautiful woman think you were weak. This could become a joke that your friends will make fun of you for the rest of your life.

"Weak or not, won't you try?" Gu Yongyuan said stubbornly while snatching back the fire shovel.

Lin Wanxue didn't understand the subtle meaning of his words in the future world, and smiled: "Try it? Why bother? I can knock you down with one finger! ”

Gu Yongyuan glared at her and decided not to dwell on her anymore. Taking advantage of it is not something that men usually do.

"Well, I'll admit I was wrong, you're strong and a real man, okay? Now, go to sleep. Lin Wanxue withdrew the fire shovel, and her smooth hand gently brushed over Gu Yongyuan's hand, with a strange sense of comfort.

Gu Yongyuan said helplessly: "When did it become a man's business to watch women suffer?" ”

Having said this, the conversation reached an impasse for the time being. Why does everything he says today sound so ambiguous?

"Enough small talk." Lin Wanxue turned around and sat on the bed. The action is elegant, and the skirt sways slightly, revealing emerald green satin trousers and a pair of delicately embroidered shoes.

After a while, the two fell silent again, and the wind outside seemed to gradually subside.

"Hehe, come and sit on the bed for a while." Lin Wanxue patted the vacant seat beside her.

The wooden chair was so stiff that it was uncomfortable, and Gu Yongyuan's back began to ache faintly. After hesitating for a moment, he stood up and walked to Lin Wanxue and sat down.

"Will we ever have a chance to meet in the future?" Lin Wanxue suddenly turned her head, looked at Gu Yongyuan fixedly and asked.

"I think so. There should be, right? Gu Yongyuan's tone was full of uncertainty.

"yes, maybe there will be." Lin Wanxue pondered for a moment and sighed lightly. She continued: "Do you have any wishes or tasks that I would like me to help you with? Do you have any enemies in the capital? Or are they officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who hold a grudge against you? Foreigner? ”

Obviously, she wanted to kill him to repay Gu Yongyuan's great kindness.

Gu Yongyuan smiled bitterly. "All you think about is violence." But his heart moved, and he glanced at Lin Wanxue cautiously. He stammered, "I have a wish, if I tell you, please don't be angry." I...... I want to hold your hand. He hurriedly explained: "I'm not, you don't understand, in my world, if you haven't even held hands, how can you call yourself boyfriend and girlfriend?" I really treat you as my girlfriend. "Meeting you is probably the most memorable thing in my life, but we haven't even held hands, which doesn't seem right, how can we show off to others in the future?"

As he spoke, a wave of remorse welled up in his heart. It was impossible for him to go back to his original world now. Even if he has a stunning girlfriend like Lin Wanxue, can he boast about it?

"You...... What did you say! Lin Wanxue didn't hear Gu Yongyuan's words clearly, and blushed. Staring at him for a moment, she slowly lowered her head and fell into deep thought. After a moment, slowly, very slowly, she stretched out her delicate, seductive, snow-white little hand. But the hand that can make fatal movements and kill people with a slight touch is now clenched into a fist, and the nervousness is overflowing.

Gu Yongyuan was stunned. He held his breath and held out his hand in response. As a person from two worlds, Gu Yongyuan has never been so nervous. At this moment, his mind went blank. It felt like a moment, and it felt like millions of years had passed.

Finally, he gently shook the charming hand. The silky and fragrant touch seemed to make his pores tingle a little, and countless nerves danced excitedly. This amazing feeling was something he had never experienced before.

Gu Yongyuan's throat was dry, but the incredible touch paled in comparison to the psychological satisfaction. This is Lin Wanxue after all! is also Lin Wanxue, who was once known as "a hundred victories in a hundred battles" and "invincible in a thousand fights". The hero Lin Wanxue can "ride a horse and make countless foxes flee". This peak of strength that he had only seen in his dreams before, now he was holding his hand intimately like a girlfriend!

When he looked sideways, he saw Lin Wanxue with her back to him. The gaudy red dress was draped over her delicate shoulders, trembling slightly. It can be seen that this successful woman is extremely nervous in her heart.

Looking at her snow-white and tender neck, small and round earlobes, the intoxicating fragrance seemed to emanate from her silky skin and poured into the deepest corners of his soul.

Gu Yongyuan trembled; His arms seemed uncooperative and numb. Slowly, he reached out and gently grabbed Xiangxiang's shoulder, gently pulling her into his arms.
